So HotD, as its fans apparently call it, has been low-key cringe for quite a while now. While it is not wholly lacking in virtue, it has done its fair share of pandering to the crazies. The season finale, which I was stupid enough to watch, brought things to a new level.
They brought on a GUY IN A DRESS to play an actual woman. With all their CGI and sound transforming technology, I could immediately tell that something ain't right. And once I figured out the character's name, it turns out she was played by... a bloke who presents a Youtube channel called Philosophy Tube. He looks like this. His name is Oliver Thorn, and he masquerades as Abigail Thorn. Don't you love the names that these cross-dressers pick - the "it's ma'am" fellow called himself "Tiffany", because of course.
Suffice it to say that """"""""SHE"""""""" was flirting with a guy, saying that he has good genes, and that """she""" wants his babies... and that he should therefore lie with """her""" wives. What? I thought: well yeah, you're a bloke - you can't get pregnant, but you do have wives.
It's just a ****show as well as a **** show.
Why am I telling you this? Misery loves company, I guess?
The usual anti-woke critics have loved HotD (I don't watch it), but recent talk says it ended the season EXTREMELY poorly. I didn't hear the details, but if that was the reason... oh lord.
I don't even mind that they give it their stamp of approval, but the terms they use in approval is quite disturbing. Critical Drinker calls it (or Dune, don't remember) 'excellent', which they most certainly are not. It is just an indication of how far our standards have fallen.
To be fair, you do need to have a very high IQ to refuse to watch House of the Dragon, because it's absolute crap.
And I say that without the slightest irony.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaah... I have bad news. That wasn't the reason. It was just the icing on the sh*t sandwich.
I know this is a broken record to repeat this sentiment yet again, but that was always the point of this elongated battle of attrition waged by the Lefties.
The Overtone Window keeps on inching Left. The amount of people who fawn over that League of Legends animated show on Netflix -- and other such similar fare that heavily push feminist ideology and homosexual ideology -- showcases that people will outwardly reject the more broad strokes from woke companies like Disney (e.g., The Acolyte, The Marvels) but will gladly accept substitutes of a lesser grievance (e.g., HotD, The Boys, League of Legends anime, etc.).
In a few years the so-called "anti-woke" content creator/influencer crowd will be castigating anyone who isn't on-board with whatever homosexual, feminist, anti-Christian, misandrist drivel that a large network (or networks) has put out that passes their very low bar for acceptable quality of entertainment.
